Type of Review: A new ICR. Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and households. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 9,630. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 3,106. Abstract: The U.S. Department of Education (ED) requests OMB clearance for data collection related to the Regional Educational Laboratory (REL) program. ED, in consultation with REL Northeast and the Islands (REL–NEI) under contract 91990022C0013 has planned a study of the efficacy of a professional development (PD) course for fourth and fifth grade math intervention teachers in the state of Massachusetts. Researchers at WestEd will carry out a school-level randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the efficacy of the PD course and investigate how and whether the PD course is helping teachers improve their practices and boost student learning. OMB approval is being requested for REL– NEI’s data collection for this project, including pre and post measures of student skills and attitudes, and teacher knowledge, beliefs, and feedback regarding instructional practice and implementation of the PD course. Elementary math achievement is a topic of national concern. Students who leave elementary school with a strong foundation in mathematics, particularly fractions, are better prepared to succeed in middle school mathematics and algebra. Algebra is a well-documented gatekeeper to advanced high school math coursework, which is consistently linked to increased post-secondary opportunities and earnings. On the 2019 NAEP report card, only 41% of grade 4 students scored Proficient or above in math, and these numbers are lower for students from marginalized backgrounds. These opportunity gaps persist at the secondary level, so need to be addressed as soon as they appear. Given this need, district leaders in Massachusetts are seeking ways to bolster learning for students who struggle with mathematics. Some of these approaches adopted by districts target core instruction, but districts are also interested in strengthening their approaches to intervention. Together with the Massachusetts Partnership to Support Student Learning Through Math Intervention, REL–NEI is designing a toolkit PD course to build educators’ knowledge of and ability to implement the recommendations of a new What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) E:\FR\FM\22AUN1.SGM 22AUN1
